In the 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot in the head while hosting an event at a grocery store in her district, she has turned that tragedy into purpose and a platform to #EndGunViolence.
May all of us take inspiration from her efforts to keep our communities safe.

Looks like the DOJ just dropped some of the Epstein files. Our entire team has begun a major review. We will keep the American people updated - but it’s clear that this is not a full release.
We will continue to provide updates. Here’s the drop: justice.gov/epstein
